An automotive fuel pump is an essential component for delivering gasoline from the tank to the engine, allowing for consistent and steady flow. There are two common types of pumps; mechanical – typically found in older vehicles and relies on motion generated by the engine – or electric, which runs off power provided by a vehicle’s electrical system. Electrical variants can be located near engines or inside tanks themselves. Due to its critical role in supporting proper combustion and performance, it’s often essential to ensure regular maintenance checks occur, as failure may lead to significant disruptions under the hood.
